See how happy Hanni is as she gets ready to dig into breakfast!
I'm not much of a cook. Gina has to be really sick before even considering me as an option to pinch hit. Breakfast is the one meal I have confidence cooking. I suggest all Dads master breakfast for a couple reasons:
- Create a memory for you kids that will last way beyond their childhood.
- Give your wife a break from the routine. She can sleep in a little and also take extra time to get ready for church. Trust me, she will appreciate it.
My breakfast repertoire consists of easy to master items:
- Eggs - Any Style
- French Toast
- Pancakes
- Waffles
Sunday morning is dedicated to eggs. I'll cook as many eggs and in any style for those who are up in time to squeeze in breakfast before we drive off to church.
When all the kids were still at home I would easily cook up 2 dozen eggs. Now, I'm down to just two kids regularly feasting on eggs with me. For some reason everyone above the age of 13 would rather sleep until the last minute.
Another suggestion for Dads - Buy a cast iron skillet and claim it as your own. Of course anybody can use it but since I am the predominate user it is referred to as Dad's skillet. The cast iron holds heat and cooks more evenly than other types. I've had the one in the picture as long as we have had kids.
Here is a picture of two eggs cooking. You can see three in a bowl because I always crack them in a bowl first to make sure there are not bad eggs.
The cast iron skillet came from Fedco when we lived in Escondido, so it's about twenty-five years old. That's a lot of fried eggs!
ReplyDeleteAnother reason you should edit my posts! That is awesome it is 25 years old. Now that I made pancakes for my grandchildren I look forward to making breakfast for my great grandchildren.
